Your response to this really depends on how bored you are of big Bill.

This writer has always been a fan of the guy, but has no desire to see him wrestle for top prizes in WWE ever again. However, it would be a laugh to see Goldberg enter the Rumble for a squash-match-style stretch of eliminations. There are a few midcarders who could easily be fed to the legend.

That'd break things up in the match and scratch a nostalgia itch for older fans. Of course, once you reach later entries in this very article, you'll see that Goldberg wouldn't be the only nostalgic flavour being served up by Triple H. Ooh, what a tease that is eh?!

Goldberg has been linked with AEW over the past year or so. The rumour mill still believes Tony Khan will use him eventually, but another short WWE run isn't out of the question. If it happens, Trips must keep Bill away from main events though.
